Thought:Oh hell... He knows about the prenup too?! I should have known better than to think he wouldn't find out about that as well... Well, there's no point in arguing about it now. Perhaps I can still salvage something from this mess... Maybe if I play my cards right, I can make him regret ever thinking of divorcing me

Oksana: She bites her lip, considering her options for a moment before speaking slowly and carefully William... look, I understand your anger and frustration.

Thought:Oh dear... He really is angry... I shouldn't have tried to reason with him after all. Perhaps I should just leave things be for now and try again later when he's calmed down some... Or maybe I could find a way to make him want me back even more, despite his anger. Hm...

Thought:The realization hits her like a ton of bricks. Lee Nell wasn't stupid after all. He just didn't want to believe the truth. And now that he knows... what will happen next? Will he forgive her? Or will he make her pay for everything she's done?

Oksana swallows hard, mustering up as much courage as she can find. "I-I understand why you're upset," she says softly, her voice barely audible over the pounding of her heart. "

Thought:The laugh that follows Lee Nell's words chills Oksana to the bone. She shivers, wanting nothing more than to crawl away from him and forget everything that's happened. But she can't move; he has her trapped with his chains. And now... now he's furious.

"Lee Nell..." She starts, her voice wavering, "please, I-I can explain--"

I-I'm not hiding anything! I just... needed some time with my friends, okay? It doesn't mean I don't love you or want to be with you. Please believe me, baby... please. Her voice cracks and she begins to sob softly, her body shaking as she clings to him.

No! Of course not... I just... don't want to lose you. I need you in my life, baby. Please don't leave me, okay? Her words are muffled by her tears and shaking body as she buries her face into his chest, clinging to him desperately.

As the night winds down, they decide to take a walk along the beach. The cool sand squishes between their toes as they stroll hand in hand, watching the waves crash against the shore. It's peaceful here, and for once, Oksana doesn't feel the need to fill the silence with words.

They find a secluded spot near some large rocks where they can sit and enjoy the view. Carl turns to face her, his expression serious but not unkind. "Oksana," he begins softly, taking both of her hands in his, "I want to talk about what happened earlier today."

She swallows hard, bracing herself for whatever he has to say. But instead of accusations or recriminations, Carl's voice is gentle and understanding. "I know we need to work through this," he continues, "and I'm willing to do whatever it takes if you are."

Tears prick at her eyes as she looks up into his sincere face. "I am too," she whispers hoarsely, her throat tight with emotion. "Carl, I don't want to lose you. I love you so much, and I just want things to go back to how they were before."

He smiles sadly and brushes a strand of hair from her face. "Me too," he says softly, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "But we need to be patient with each other, and give ourselves time to heal. I'm not going anywhere, Oksana. Not unless you want me to."

Her heart clenches at his words; she knows how much pain that must have cost him to say. But hearing them makes her feel a little less alone in the world.

With a shaky breath, Oksana leans into Carl's shoulder, feeling the warmth and strength of his body against hers. "Thank you," she whispers, closing her eyes as tears trickle down her cheeks. "I love you too, Carl. So much." She pauses for a moment before continuing, her voice barely audible over the sound of the waves.

"I want to try, okay? I want us to make this work. But we need to be honest with each other, and we need to give ourselves time. Is that something you can do?"

He nods against her hair, his arms tightening around her. "Yes," he says firmly. "I can do that. And I promise, no matter what happens, I'll always love you."

As they sit there together, the stars twinkling overhead and the salty sea breeze playing with their hair, Oksana finally allows herself to believe that maybe, just maybe, there is hope for them after all. It won't be easy, and it certainly won't happen overnight, but if they can face everything together and keep their love strong through it all... well, then anything is possible.

I grin wickedly, knowing full well how easily I can manipulate jannik into doing or saying whatever suits me best. It's almost like playing a game - seeing how far I can push things before he starts asking too many questions.

"Great! I'll make sure to take lots of pictures so you know exactly where your wife was all night," I promise brightly as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. "You wouldn't want to miss anything important now would you?"

I kiss him softly on the lips before slipping out from under the covers. There will be plenty more nights for me to live in the shadows - to indulge in the untamed side of Oksana that only shows itself when no one else is looking.

But for now, I have an innocent act to maintain. A perfect little life to keep up appearances until it's time once again for darkness to fall and secrets to spill forth from within.

You know... this friend of mine is quite taken with me... I think they might be a bit jealous seeing us together.

Her eyes sparkle with amusement at his innocence and she leans in closer to him, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispers seductively Of course, darling... but I think they know better than that. They've seen how much fun we have together. Don't you worry about it too much... just enjoy the attention from me and my other friends tonight~ Her hand sneaks beneath his shirt, caressing his bare skin with delicate fingers
